Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
We do not provide this service. This is a forum of caregivers caring for a LO.
Are you on SS disability? If so you have Medicare and Medicaid? If you have Medicaid you can sign up for transportation thru them. Ur County Office of Aging may have buses. As a disabled person you should be able to get rides.
Even a home nurse needs an order to see a client. Call your PCP and see if this service is available where you live. Maybe the PCP has a Nurse that can come look at it.
I'm sorry to hear this, Danielle. Definitely, I think you should get the bite looked at by a doctor or nurse. Better safe than sorry!
Do you have a doctor or clinic you normally go to? My first thought is calling them and asking the office manager if she or he knows of a service that could help. Is there a friendly church in your town or area? Even if you don't go there, you could call the church office during the work day and ask if they might be able to help.
Another thought is an organization called FISH (it stands for Friends in Service Helping). They offer free rides to medical appointments. I am not sure if they operate in Maine.
Do you have a caseworker or any sort of contact with a social service agency in your county? I think it would be worthwhile to reach out and see what's available. Here is a link I found:
The phone number for SeniorsPlus (Aging and Disability Resources) is 1(800) 427-1241. The hours are 8AM-5PM, Monday through Friday.
I hope you can get this taken care of soon so you can rest easy about the dog bite. Knowing about help that's available just in case for future situations would be good too.
Best wishes to you and let us know how you make out!
